Hypnotism is scarcely large scale and hardly relevant in any way. It barely works and if it does it is small scale and looks more like relaxation than anything else.
Don't be crazy.
I think its called critical thinking.. if you are too lazy to think for yourself, you are easily brainwashed. unfortunately most people cannot avoid being brainwashed because they are too lazy to learn about issues and think about it themselves. Its easiest to watch tv and be fed conservative or liberal propaganda and keep using these talking points at whoever will listen.

"Brainwashing and Mind-Control techniques"
You mean like this stupid troll post?
I support OWS, just wondered what you guys thought about this stuff that's all
Ah... I see, you are trying to start a conversation.
All I saw was a heading and nasty post from troll 'sawata' about "mass hypnotism and manipulation of the weak."
Next time try clarifying your intent in the body of the message.
In answer to your question, I think that user 'armchairecon' offers good advice (above). I'll quote it to save you the trouble of scrolling around:
